Love to be outside as much as possible. I busted ass all summer to take off half the year and travel, living out of a mini van across the states ME-MA-MD-VA-TN-NC-SC-FL-LA-TX-NM-AZ-NV-OR-MN Recently quarantined in Bozeman, Montana after leaving Oregon heading South for more comfortable weather.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Usually "winging it" Most mornings Im not sure where camp is going to be that night and I thrive on that, but when traveling somewhere new, its beneficial to get more immersed in that point of the map by getting in with the locals.
In the current climate I don't think its wise for me to just go with the flow. Cant even tell which way is up or down stream in these strange times.

Music, Movies, and Books

Live music is the best music of all kinds, don't much like screens but The Fall is a beautifully crafted film, see it if you haven't. Currently reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One morning I woke in Panama City. I said to myself, "you're going to find a boat and the right people and learn to sail." That night I was sleeping aboard the Starseeker and the following morning went for my first sailing lesson.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to cook for high school students in Maine, US that were studing there from Ecuador, El Salvador, Bermuda, Jamaica, Ghana, Nepal, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Hungary, China, Serbia, South Korea, Japan, and Indonesia. They would bring me recipes from mom or grandma for me to cook and share with everyone. Sometimes a few kids came into the kitchen to help make dinner. I want to learn what comfort food is to you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Eye contact, a song and dance, sharting stories, meals and my ridiculous wardrobe
